Yes, compared to software engineers in the US it isn't much. But the US is the poster child for overconsumption, it shouldn't be the norm. 60k in France is above average in one of the richest countries in the world.

Paris is a collection of shoebox apartments, if you want to have a larger house, don't go live in Paris.

Yeah, Paris isn't good for comparisons with the rest of France. My French colleague insists that Paris should not be considered part of France! :)
